Doug Ford's buck-a-beer for Ontario gets mixed reviews
Cheap beer is coming to Ontario. Or is it? Doug Ford's campaign promise to lower the minimum price of a bottle or can of beer from $1.25 to a buck will take effect this Labour Day weekend but does it actually mean beer will be more affordable at the local LCBO or beer store?
